In the Settings tab of the Add Guest Account window configure:
Profile: Select the Guest Profile to generate this account from.
Name: Enter a name for the account or click Generate. The generated name is the prefix in the
profile and a random two or three digit number.
Comment: Enter a descriptive comment.

random string of eight alphabetic characters.

In the Guest Services tab, configure:
Enable Guest Services Privilege: Check this for the account to be enabled upon creation.
Enforce login uniqueness: Check this to allow only one instance of this account to log into the
security appliance at one time. Leave it unchecked to allow multiple users to use this account at
once.
Automatically prune account upon account expiration: Check this to have the account
removed from the database after its lifetime expires.
Account Lifetime: This setting defines how long an account remains on the security appliance
before the account expires. If Auto-Prune is enabled, the account is deleted when it expires. If
the Auto-Prune checkbox is cleared, the account remains in the list of guest accounts with an
Expired status, allowing easy reactivation. This setting overrides the account lifetime setting in
the profile.
Session Lifetime: Defines how long a guest login session remains active after it has been
activated. By default, activation occurs the first time a guest user logs into an account.
Alternatively, activation can occur at the time the account is created by clearing the Activate
account upon first login checkbox. The Session Lifetime cannot exceed the value set in the
Account Lifetime. This setting overrides the session lifetime setting in the profile.
Idle Timeout: Defines the maximum period of time when no traffic is passed on an activated
guest services session. Exceeding the period defined by this setting expires the session, but
the account itself remains active as long as the Account Lifetime hasn't expired. The Idle
Timeout cannot exceed the value set in the Session Lifetime. This setting overrides the idle
timeout setting in the profile.
